Mutt with multiple IMAP (Google Mail) accounts in the cloud. This is how I have my mutt installation set up and configured. I primarily use Google products for my mail these days, so the config here should be just fine for that. The principle shown here holds true for all mail accounts.

Mutt for multiple email accounts

This is an OS X-centric configuration.

My setup and configuration for Gmail/Google Apps

The idea here is to use environment variables, loaded via aliases to mutt, to control which account you're loading. Years ago I had all of my accounts configured to be accessible from a single mutt
